John Askew was born in Cowe ta county, Da., in the year 1847, and died in the city of Atlanta, Ga., on the !tth day of September, 1907. While yet a hoy in his teens Iiro. As kew entered the Confederate army, and for two years did brave and valiant service for his country. Bro. Askew was initiated, passed and raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason in the year 1872, in Coweta Lodge, No. 60, F. and A. M., at Newnan, Ga., and was a faithful, consistent, consecrated member. The confidence and esteem of his brethren attested their apprecia tion of him a a man and Mason by electing him Worshipful Master of Coweta Lodge, No. 00, in his early Ma sonic career, and afterwards he was further honored by being made High Priest of Newnan Chapter, No. 34, It. A. M. Both of these places he filled with distinguished ability. He was also the honored Recorder of Tancred Commandery, No. 11, K. T., for sever al years just prior to his death. Bro. Askew was a member of the Presby terian church, and conducted himself at all times in such a mariner as to command respoct and win admiration. From a character so exemplary all of us can find inspiration and take re newed encouragement. From his la bors here he has been called to refresh ment in the Grand Lodge aboVe; for we feel justified in indulging the buoy ant hope that lie has been translated to a brighter and better home beyond the grave, where the air is filled with sol emn, entrancing music, and the sky is aglow with the splendor of sunlight and perpetual spring—-where the spark ling waters are dashed with the fra grance of rare and beautiful llowers, and the garlands, woven of the lilies of the valley, are forever white and green. Let him rest and sleep and dream! Upon the marble slab which crowns the mound where his remains lie buried we place with tender hands “clusters of beauty whom nonq can debar; white as the robe of a sinless soul, and sweeter than Araby’s winds that blow”—the last and purest token affection can offer to our departed friend and brother. Therefore, be it Resolved, That Coweta Lodge, No. 60, F. and A. M., has lost a faithful, worthy brother, the church a devout and consecrated member, the commu nity an upright and patriotic citizen. Resolved, further, That a page on the minutes of the lodge be dedicated to his memory, that these resolutions lie inscribed thereon, and a copy sent I he family of our deceased brother, and that request lie made of' our city pa pers to publish same. . Respectfully submitted, L. A. Perdue, W. S. Copeland. Mike Powell, Committee. RItb. Lynch Turner. Mrs. Lynch Turner, daughter of Samuel Lumpkin and Ellen Smith Fa- ver, passed sweetly to her heavenly inheritance March 12. 1909. She was born on the 5th of M/iy, 1874, and mar ried Mr. Lynch Turner June It), 1895. At the age of 17 she joined the Bap tist church in Newnan, Ga., where she 1 was born, and here she spent all the days of her earthly pilgrimage. Her j husband and one child, Ellen Lillian, survive her, as do her mother, sisters and a brother, John IJ. Faver, of La- I Grange, Ga. She had a broad mind and an artistic temperament, a happy disposition, a compassionate heart, and an unwaver ing loyalty to principles and persons. God as her center of gravity, the source of her bright life and His wis dom and love the sufficient explanation to her of all that entered into her life. The cup He might put to her lips, or bitter or sweet, she bravely and cheer fully drank, heartily professing and be lieving that all things must work to gether for her good since they came in the order of His sweet will. About a year ago 1 looked across a room at a potted flower and asked her, “Is that azalia natural or artificial?” And she went and took it up and held it to the sunlight and answered, “My Father painted this.” So her Father touched her with His skillful hand, and, letting Him have His way, she grew herself daily unto a beautiful image of our Lord Jesus Christ. Her last illness was "unusually pro tracted and painful, but moved her not from her absolute trust, and her dying bed was an evidence of Christianity to all who were privileged to see her spread her wings for the home on high. It is to be doubted if any woman was held in greater admiration in this sec tion of the State, for thousands of peo ple believed that she would never for sake them, and among the poor and in the midst of the afflicted she was an unassuming benediction. Day or night she was ready to shield the oppressed, to minister to the sick and dying, and always and everywhere she openly and gently spread the white mantle of charity over the erring. Her indigna tion at insincerity and her scorn of all cowardice of opinion or conduct, added to her other virtues, made her to the writer of these lines a woman worthy of unbounded admiration and love. At her funeral the church was crowded, though the day was most in clement, and in the air was peace and triumph and the blessed hope of the life everlasting. Near her coffin was the azalia. R. J. Bigharn. Newnan, Ga., April 12, 1909. “Yes, sir.” boasted the hotel pro prietor, “that dog’s the best rat-catch- in’ dog in the State,” Even as he spoke two big rats scur ried across the office floor. The dog merely wrinkled his nose. "Rat dog!” scoffed the traveling man. “Look at that, will you?” “Huh!” snorted the landlord. “He knows them; but you jest let a strange rat come in here once!” ‘ 6 Best of Everything in Hardware” A PEW TICS YOU SHOULD HUY HOW Cane Seed—Red Top and Orange Selected Seed Field Corn Early Golden Dent Corn Onion Sets Garden Tools Garden Wire Ice Cream Freezers Corn Planters Guano Distributors Leather Collars Cotton Collars Collar Pads Hamestrings— “a sure enough good one” Stock Food We have the best anil cheapest line of Re frigerators in the city. Call and see for yourselves. Kirby-Bohannon Hdw. Co. Not Religion. New York Times. Mrs. S., of New Orleans, has for many years been faithfully served by I two negro women who, although bound { by the tie of common devotion to their mi l re - , yet detest each other cordial ly, ho that the kitchen is the scene of | continuous battle. Martha, the cook, is a leading light ; in the church. At revival meetings she I was always the first to occupy the mourners’ bench, the first to shout j “Hallelujah!” and to fall into those j contortions of body and outflinging of [ limbs that to the African mean “get ting religion.” Eliza, the maid of all work, on the other hand, had always been an unregenerate heathen, scoff ing at religion, jeering at Martha and declaring no power on earth could in duce her to go inside a church. Great, therefore, was Mrs. S.'s surprise on the occasion of the last revival to find that it was Eliza and not Martha who was attending the meetings. “Why, Martha,” she exclaimed, “aren’t you going to church?” “No’m,” answered Martha sullenly. “Why?” “ ’Cause dat Liza she goes now.” “But isn’t there room for both of you?” “No’m, dey ain’t.” All Martha’s pent-up indignation em phasized the answer. “But why?” “ ’Cause, Miss Mary, dat Liza she jes’ goes ter spite me. No sooner I gits up to go to de mo’ners’ bench dan Liza she toilers me and sets down dost beside me, and befo’ I has a chanst ter git ’ligion Liza she begins to girate around and shout ‘Glory hallelujah!’ and she out wid her fist and hits me him in de jaw, and she out wid her footses and kicks me spank in de shin. But, I tell you, ’tain’t, Tigion Liza’s got, Miss Mary; hit’s debiltry.” Gov. Smith Will Have Big Practice. Atlanta, May 1.—Two months before the expiration of his term, Gov. Smith is finding his services as a lawyer ex tensively in demand. The Governor has received numerous letters in the last few days, it is said, seeking his services in various.sorts of litigation. His reply has been, gener ally, that he will be glad to take hold of such matters after July 1, and in the meantime if they wish anything done, they may consult the firm in which his son is now a member and to which he will return when he leaves the Governor’s office. The office suite of the Governor’s firm has been recently enlarged, pre paratory to his return to it. And he will jump right from the executive of fice into the court-house, as it were. But it is not Gov. Smith’s purpose to make himself a slave to his practice. He intends to devote a portion of his time to his library and another portion to his farm, in both of which he finds abundant enjoyment. It is known that Gov. Smith had an offer from a Western lyceum bureau for an eight weeks’ series of lectures in the West, and at a handsome figure, but the idea of stepping right out of the Governor’s office onto the lecture platform, it is said, did not appeal strongly to him. The Governor’s friends state, how ever, that it is his purpose in the near future—probably next year—to make a Western tour, for which it is said the opportunity has been offered him, and it is not unlikely that at that time he will accept. For the present, however, following the conclusion of his term, he will de vote himself to his law office, his libra ry and his farm. A heart full of faith means short shrift to sorrow. Resolutions of Respect. Whereas, an all-wise providence saw fit to remove from our midst our'■be loved friend and sister, Mrs. Fannie Walker Carter, Jan. 26, 1909—aged 49 years. She had been a devoted and consecrated member of New Lebanon church for twenty-five years, and was always ready to speak a word for Christ. As a friend and neighbor none named her but to praise. She was an unusually strong-minded woman, of clear convictions, and did not hesitate to express her views. In the death of AN OLD ADAGE SAY S “A fight purse is a heavy curse’ Sickness makes a light purse. The LIVER is the scat of nir. tenths of aii disease. Sister Carter the church has sustained an irreparable loss, yet we feel that our loss is her eternal gain. She has gone to receive her reward where there is no sickness nor death. Her life was a lesson of faithfulness to us—an inspi ration to the best things of life. We would say to the husband and children, “Weep not, for she is not dead, but sleeping in the arms of her Savior. Theeforre, be it— go to the root of the whole mat ter, thoroughly, quickly safely and restore the action of th< LiVER to norma! condition. ■Hve tone to the system and olid HesSt to the body. ake No Substitute Resolved, That New Lebanon church has lost one of its most faithful mem-1 bers, the husband and children a loving wife and mother, and the community in which she lived one of it best neigh bors. Resolved, That we extend to the father and childrefti sympathizing prayers that our Heavenly Father may grant them a double portion of His j spirit to sustain them in their sad be- i reavement. j Resolved, That a copy of these reso- ; lutions be spread upon our church re- j cord, and that The Herald and Adver- | tiser and Newnan News be requested I to publish the same.

CATES DRUG CO., Successor to Huffaker Drug Co. The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very “engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen hour necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers,, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even scatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and health}' the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish tlie nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results. S. S. S. is nature’s blood purifier and tonic; made entirely of healing, cleansing roots and herbs. It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity, humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones up the entire system. It adds to tlie blood the healthful properties it is in need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S. S. neutral izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, and perma nently cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, and alf, other diseases or disorders arising from bad blood. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired free to all who write. Your S. S. S., in my opinion, is as good a medicine as can be had; it simply cannot be i mproved upon as a remedy to purify and enrich the blood and to invigorate and tone up the system. This spring my blood was bad and I was run down in health, and having seen your medicine highly advertised I commenced its use. Today my blood is in fine condition and my general health is of the best. Am filling posi tion as fireman for a large concern here, and if I was not in good physical condition it would be impossible for me to fill the place. Your S. S. S. has been of great service to me and I do not hesitate to give it the credit it deserves. WM. F. VANDYKE. 81S Fifth Street, Beaver Falls, Penn. ! THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
